Based upon size, features, and (hopefully) price, my desire has shifted towards acquiring a Zero2, so I hope the Zero2 does arrive at retail first. I’m set upon the RS105-D4E128H.
Will it be available at ameriDroid? Will there be an early buyers discount as for the Rock5?
Don’t think there will as they seem to have set the models already whilst the discount for Rock5 was as a tempter to evaluate which models would be of interest.
The price and when is what many are waiting for and did expect the RZ2 by now… ?
So, it is Q2, the date the shipping was announced. Can someone clarify (with sources) when the shipping starts?
I really want this not to be vaporware, because for 6 months now there is an acrylic case, an SSD, a full copper passive cooler and a USB-C-20W-PD power brick waiting for it. And ameridroid got the money for the 16GB version for now also 6 months.
#Pleasebenovaporware!
We are preparing a rock 5b developer debug party now. Will unveil more details soon.
Btw, your 20W PD power brick is not enough, SSD eat 10W peak only.

Thank you for that information!
OK, thanks.
On the RK3588 TRM it reads
Two of the USB3.0 controller (marked as USB3OTG_0 and USB3OTG_1) in PD_USB can act as static host, static device, USB2.0/3.0 OTG A device or B device basing on the status of input ID from USB2.0 PHY.
Does the USB ports on Rock 5 support device mode / OTG mode at USB 3.0 speed?
Thanks
USB C supports OTG mode with power and DP Alt mode.
would any of the USB 3.0 A ports support OTG?
In theory, there is one USB 3.0 A port can be used as OTG, we will test this.
Hello
I prepaid $ 5 on SBC rock pi5. It was promised that sales would start in the second quartal. When will you start selling the goods?
best regards

What’s the consumption at idle and peak?
Said expected so unfortunately not a promise.
Likely not before Sept as we still haven’t seen the RadxaZero2 yet.
And what does radxaZero2 have to do with it? The announcements were made for the second quarter of 2022. Almost 6 months have passed since January.

Will this power supply suffice for the Rock5?
I am also hunting for a case to help with thermals on this thing, is there a case with a heat sink and fan that will be well suited to the Rock5?

expected and no firm date was given irrespective of your demands and April, May, June so it is also still Q2.
Radxa are a relatively small firm and have a hunch resources will dictate and new product releases will come sequentially and the RadxaZero2 is in advance of the Rock5b in terms of release so likely you can use the RadxaZero2 as a rule of thumb and expect the Rock5b sometime after its release.
I think Q3 is also reasonable, just hope that it won’t get pass into Q4.
Are you from raxda. It is official statement?
Can anybody from raxda say when pi5 wll be ship?

Nope but I can read
They are still doing debugging and working with pre samples I guess which is an advancement from the initial Rockchip BSP.
I guess we will have to wait and read what they say.
